Rating: Summary: bad-tech,good-idea Review: let me go straight to the point. idea is great but the technology that bring this game to you will un doudtedly make speak ill of this company if you have voodoo or slow pc. it only uses d3d . thats even worse than "quake1". d3d is extremely cpu dependent...at least quake1,2 had a very fast 2d graphics but rogue spear's 2d is as bad as the rainbowsix original's. when you in stall the whole thing in to the rogue spear folder it will install 9800files + some more. with the same hard ware i could play counter strike or q3 with lesser fragmentation of the hdd... and it's painful to wait for the win98se to defrag when there is extra 9800files in a single directory with many more sub directories. d3d is bad... opengl,glide is good. but if u have geforce2mx or faster nvidia graphics cards with fast cpu go ahead it was made for you..but do not forget 9800files in your hdd. if u have small or slow hdd get away from this game. first person anti-terrorism. planning in group level with total control over the three side groups...cool.minimum hardware requirement is p2-400 128mb ram geforce 2 mx or tnt2m64 (32mbsdram) fast hdd (very fast and stable ) and ...alpha,bravo,charlie,delta.
Rating: Summary: Good bye James Bond!! Review: Rainbow six rogue spear is definently a game for anyone who likes first person shooting games.It has awsome graphics and will leave you screaming tango down in your sleep for weeks!You are a special opperations person that is assighned to missions from new york city to omen near the red sea.How ever some missions you don't shoot people at all and if you get caught you fail. So, if you like to run around and blast people until your health runs out try swat 3 or a space game.But other missions you get to plant explosives and kill every body in the base.So if you like extreame action games go buy rainbow six rogue spear!
Rating: Summary: Rogue Spear, a great game. Review: Rogue Spear is a harder game but is really fun too. It is much better that the first Rainbow w/ more guns, levels and gear. If you enjoy the regular Rainbow you will love this game. It seems to be based on a Navy SEAL and/or SWAT team game. Different people have different abblilities such as demolitions, recon, assault and sniper. Also they have traits such as stealth, sniper, assaulting etc. I hope this review helped you.
Rating: Summary: Best 1st Person Shooter ... Period!! Review: While far from perfect, I've never seen a videogame handle firearms and close combat any better than this one. Graphics are very good, AI is fair and weapon selection fairly decent. I'd love to see this same engine in a WWII 1st-person shooter.
Rating: Summary: cool indeed Review: finally, stealth and action tactics with realistic gameplay done right. much better than the original. get this as soon as possible, [..] is a perfect price on it. one tip though, as soon as you get it, go to [...] and download nato3, it gives you much more guns and more variety.
Rating: Summary: Fan-friendly evolution of R6. Now what? Review: Every few years, the gaming world is shaken by a new arrival that breaks the mold and sets a new standard. The original Rainbow Six (R6) was such a game: a thinking person's, full immersion CQB shooter, with heavy doses of planning and stealth. How to follow up on that monster hit? Evolution or revolution? RedStorm opted to tweak and probably did the right thing. Rogue Spear is a fan-friendly, incremental improvement on R6. And the fans are loving it for what it is: R6 as it should have been. Rogue Spear satisfies as both a sequel and a stand-alone game. R6 veterans buy Rogue Spear for "more of the same, but better": new missions, a few more loadout options, and fixes to some R6 gripes. For newcomers, Rogue Spear rivals prequel R6 as the most realistic, brain-intensive shooter on the market. Truth be told, if you like one game, you should buy the other, too; but play them in the order of release, to appreciate Rogue Spear's improvements. What next? RedStorm has a real money-making franchise on its hands, and on one level, they'd be fools to mess with it. They can doubtless keep cranking out new missions, maps, and tweaks once every year. Not a bad prospect, but not exactly earth-shaking, either. On the other hand, one can imagine creative expansions that *would* make the Rainbow series more exciting and challenging. The ability to change plans on the fly, during mission execution. Parachute or helicopter insertions. Rock climbing and rappelling. Water-based missions (SEAL/SBS). Fighting against conventional military units. Calling in friendly conventional military units or air strikes for support. Observing the game through the terrorists' eyes. Enemies who communicate with each other by radio -- making them harder to surprise. Traitors. Hand to hand combat. Knife fighting. Picking up weapons from fallen enemies. Ambushes, booby traps, and claymores. PDA communications during pure stealth missions, as in Traitors Gate. Spying missions, with eavesdropping gadgets and dialogue. Civilian garb. Car chases and shootouts. Desert missions. Unexpected changes in orders in the middle of a mission. Contextual, optional AI advice during the planning phase. Detailed performance critiques from Clark after each mission. The possibilities are many ...
Rating: Summary: Good game- Kind of bloody for the sensitive Review: This is a Great Game. It is a must buy for all those who bought the first one. It's got great gameplay and I really find the mission planer helpful. It runs very smoothly with no gliches. It is of course a little bit bloody.
Rating: Summary: Rainbow Six Rogue Spear Review: First person sneaker, A clone of Thief The dark project. Sneak behind the bad guys and shoot them with a silencer, One flash bang weapon is just like the flash bomb in thief. The graphics and sound are good. The bad guys are very sharp shooters and just one shot is enough to get you down and you cant save the game in the middle of the mission. Single player gameplay is very difficult as you need atleast 4 persons to finish a mission.
Rating: Summary: Worth the money-one of the best Review: R6:RS is one of the best FPS games out there admit some real compition in the genre. The graphics are very good, oddly it did not make use of all the shading effects possible. It also sports some really good voice acting in the briefing missions. The game play is awsome, the AI is almost perfect. While most of the tangos simply stand around their reaction to your team is very real and intelligent. However too often I would step through a door way and get killed-only my squad did not notice, they would contiue to the waypoint. Even if the tangos are in the path of the waypoint your teammates can get cut down fast if one of them does not have clear LOS. While the enemy AI is so good, it is starnge the friendly AI is a notch or two below but still better than the first R6. There are lots of little things that are cool, there is extreme attension to detail here. I really liked seeing the charactors breath and see their breath in the air! The weapon selection is really big, but only a couple of the weapons will you use. The AI is so sensitive to sound that to use something with out a silencer is asking for failure. Most of the weapons are too loud to use on most of the missions so they are basicly useless in single player. Also how each weapon sounds is very authentic and I loved to hear the SMGs just firing away! A new feature are the snipers, while this is good to use they have the same problem as above, the sniper rifles are too loud. I gave my snipers the MP5SD5 rather than the rifles they were supposed to use and it still works rather well. The learning curve is sharp, and much of the planning phase is worthless till you have played the mission a few times to understand the map. However it pays to have a good plan, and that is what really wins the game is good planning. It is extremely rewarding to see your plan work perfectly.
Rating: Summary: Action in a realistic way Review: I still jump on my monitor when I'm shot. The variety of weapons, the reality of the game, the maps from all around the world turns Rogue Spear in to a habit. The only complain I have is the bad AI that causes problems sometimes, but most of the time they are my planning and coordination mistakes. Great game that all collectors should have.
